Winemaker Comments
Deep ruby red with violet highlights. The nose opens with red berries such as strawberries, raspberries and morello cherries, responding to the classic profile of this noble variety. Soft notes of vanilla and spices intermingle with delicate mineral hints - a wine that is both seductive and complex. On the palate, it boasts juicy red fruit, a crunchy.
